How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S3

Galaxy S3 is one of the most popular devices around  and  today I will provide a step-by-step guide to rooting your Galaxy S3.

Disclaimer: Unlocking and rooting your Samsung Galaxy S3 may void its warranty. I, nor anyone else assumes liability for any problems, including bricking, that you may encounter.

I will be using CF Auto-Root 1.0 for this, which only supports a limited number of S3 models, and you can download the app based on your model . You can check your model by going into 

Settings >About Device. 

Do not use this if your model is not supported,

First download the appropriate CF Auto-Root version for your device model, and unzip:

GT-I9300T: CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0du-gti9300t.zip

How to Root the Samsung Galaxy SIII

Make sure you end up with a file with the extension .tar.md5, or else you did it incorrectly.

Do not use this if your model is not supported,

 as it will probably cause problems down the line or even brick your device. I will be posting more detailed instructions with images in here, but you should probably read both of them before you attempt this, especially if you dont have a lot of experience doing this. The thing about CF Auto-Root is that it doesnt really replace the stock recovery, keeping everything stock, except rooted. Usually, you would have to use a modified recovery in order to maintain root, but this method lets you keep the original recovery by re-flashing it over the modified recovery after the process is done.

So, the Second  you need  to download Odin.  Download it, and extract the contents somewhere.

Next, start Odin, by executing the .exe file you extracted before. Make sure your device isnt connected yet (but that you have connected it once before). You will be faced with this screen:
